======Introduction======

Hello, and thank you for dropping by my opus. I am a visually impaired college student and have been working with computers and technology for as long as I can remember. My key interests in the computer and technology fields include:

  * Designing, developing, upgrading, and maintaining Web sites and Web applications
  * Writing, testing, and repairing computer software applications
  * Providing technical support in person, over the phone, or via online communication methods
  * Hosting Web sites and Internet radio stations
  * Discovering new ways to use and benefit from assistive technology for the blind and visually impaired, including software applications like JAWS for Windows and hardware devices like the Icon and Braille+

I have worked extensively with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, including Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, and 7, Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and 10.7 (Lion), and Linux distributions that include CentOS, Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, and Vinux. I also have experience in the Visual Basic and C# programming languages on the desktop platform, as well as PHP, HTML, and CSS on Web platforms and shell scripting on Unix and Linux platforms. Furthermore, I have also done extensive work with computer repair, including installing, troubleshooting, and upgrading software and operating systems, providing over-the-phone, in person, and online technical support, and working with other technical support specialists in a corporate environment.

When not working with computers and other technology, I like to spend my time reading, listening to music, writing music, or playing the drums or piano. I also enjoy various sports, especially those designed specifically for blind and visually impaired individuals, including Goalball and beep baseball. When not working on assignments at Corning Community College, I usually spend a good portion of my time involved with Airshock LLC, a company I started back in March 2011. At Airshock, we focus on providing high-quality, affordable, and professional Web and media services to the online community.
